Profile
Communication can be characterized as the foundation of human societies; that is, societies arise through communication and would cease to function without it. At the same time, communication is full of mystery and profound challenges to better comprehend and practice it. As much as we are immersed in the processes of communication, we never master it in all its shadings and forms. Perhaps for its ubiquity and complexity, Communication is the paradigm of a cross-disciplinary field that is anchored in the liberal arts.At SLU-Madrid, the study of Communication is as panoramic as an intimate-scale program can realize. Our curriculum takes in mass media in its many forms and new/social media, intercultural as well as interpersonal communications, all of which are pursued with the pronounced international accent that begins with our campus’ rainbow character. In turn, these sub-fields are shot through with examination of the high stakes issues of identity (gender, class, nation), the play of signs and ideology, as well as ethics. Our curriculum also reaches from conceptually-driven inquiry to practical, hands-on coursework in journalistic methods, photography and design.Our trio of full-time faculty were trained in highly ranked departments and present a combined total of more than 40 years of university teaching. We also have more than 20 years of experience combined as faculty at SLU-Madrid. The numbers testify to our commitment to the campus and to an educational environment that is international to its core and that is further characterized by rigor (high standards) and vigor (high energy). Moreover, our photography and journalism courses are delivered by acclaimed professionals who are also seasoned and successful teachers.
